18 year old Son desperate for a Full Time job. Can anyone advise?

[ClearFruit]

My Son is 18. He doesn't have much in the way of qualifications. He is being absolutely ignored on Indeed. I am so worried about his MH. All of his friends have work, and he is just at home all day, getting depressed. Where can I find him something permanent? He will do ANYTHING. Has anyone got any ideas?

TIA.

Has he tried apprenticeships?

Apprenticeship, Apprenticeship, Apprenticeship.

Trades are in woefully short supply and he will earn while he's training, then never be out of work again.

Find him an Apprenticeship in one of the trades - Plumber, Bricklayer, Plasterer, or if he has enough GCSEs Electrician or Gas Engineer

Find an apprenticeship - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

And you shouldn't find him something permanent, he should. Has he been round to local businesses bars restaurants etc?

'He is at home all day' doesn't tie up with 'he will do anything.'

Get up. Get copies of your cv. Walk around your town, asking at every single business if they're hiring. Get on local Facebook. Say you're looking for work and will do anything. Him. Not you.

The old fashioned way. Get him to print out some CVs and hand them out around local businesses. Businesses will get loads of applications but appearing in person will have more of an impact. He should also look into some volunteer work. It'll get him out the house, let him gain some experience to put on his CV and will show future employers that he's keen to work.

What qualifications does he have-GCSE’s, A levels or Btec?
Could he go to college to gain further qualifications or apply for an apprenticeship?
